Breaking news from Patrick Hamilton Elementary!

It was the scariest day of my life!

Something fell from the sky.

It was a big, slimy, slippery fish.

It was at least a foot long.

At first, I thought someone threw it at me.

When I looked up in the sky, there was an enormously strong bird flying over Patrick Hamilton’s playground.

Oran and I were screaming for Mrs. Knapp.

There was a giant crowd of kids gathering around the dead fish.

They couldn’t believe their eyes. It was a bass.

That’s the story of the scariest day of my life.

Adds their second grade teacher, Kelly Knapp, “The kids wanted me to tell you this is a true story.”
